چکیده

g(0) > 0 and lim u→∞ g(u) u = ∞. We consider solutions u of (1.1) which are nonnegative in Ω. Typical examples are g(u) = e and g(u) = (1+u) with p > 1. Problem (1.1) and its connections with combustion theory have been extensively studied; see [CR], [G], [JL], [BCMR] and [BE]. It is known that there exists 0 < λ∗ < ∞ such that (i) for 0 ≤ λ < λ∗, there is a minimal classical solution uλ of (1.1) (see [CR]); (ii) for λ = λ∗, there exists a weak solution u∗ of (1.1) (Lemma 5 of [BCMR]); (iii) for λ > λ∗, there is no weak solution of (1.1) (Corollary 2 of [BCMR]). The notion of weak solution of (1.1) as considered in [BCMR] is the following:

Existence of at least three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system

In this paper, applying two theorems of Ricceri and Bonanno, we will establish the existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system. Indeed, we will assign a differentiable nonlinear operator to a differential equation system such that the critical points of this operator are weak solutions of the system. In this paper, applying two theorems of R...

A Note on Some Overdetermined Elliptic Problem

Ω 7−→ λ1(Ω) , under the volume constraint Vol(Ω) = α (where α ∈ (0,Vol(M)) is fixed) are called extremal domains. Smooth extremal domains are characterized by the property that the eigenfunctions associated to the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator have constant Neumann boundary data [2]. In other words, a smooth domain is extremal if and only if there exists a positive function ...

A convergent adaptive method for elliptic eigenvalue problems and numerical experiments

We prove the convergence of an adaptive linear finite element method for computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of second order symmetric elliptic partial differential operators. The weak form is assumed to yield a bilinear form which is bounded and coercive in H. Each step of the adaptive procedure refines elements in which a standard a posteriori error estimator is large and also refines el...

Bifurcation Problem for Biharmonic Asymptotically Linear Elliptic Equations

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the ellipticequation $Delta^{2},u+c(x)u = lambda f(u)$ on a bounded smooth domain $Omega$ of $R^{n}$, $ngeq2$, with Navier boundary conditions. We show that there exists an extremal parameter$lambda^{ast}>0$ such that for $lambda< lambda^{ast}$, the above problem has a regular solution butfor $lambda> lambda^{ast}$, the probl...

A BIFURCATION RESULT FOR EQUATIONS WITH ANISOTROPIC p-LAPLACE-LIKE OPERATORS

where X is an appropriate function space and φi , F are given functions. The coefficients φi’s are different in general. In the particular case where φi(|ξ |)= |ξ |p−2, for all ξ ∈ R , for all i ∈ {1, . . . ,N}, (1.1) reduces to the p-Laplacian equation and there are several bifurcation results available (cf. [3, 4]). It seems that bifurcation problems for anisotropic elliptic operators have no...
